i'm margaret brennan. >> and i'm anthony mason. here are a few of the stories we'll be looking at on "cbs this morning saturday." open arms for nsa leader edward snowden. both nicaragua and venezuela say they'll be happy to grant asylum for the man wanted by the u.s. for espionage. >> violence in cry rowe. the powerful muslim brotherhood says it will put mohamed morsi back in power. then is this the summer of the shark? why the great white population is exploding along east coast beaches. and bad drivers beware. more and more cars in america
5:01 am
are equipped with dashboard cameras. all that and much more on "cbs this morning saturday," july 6th, 2013. captioning funded by cbs and good morning. welcome to the weekend. let's get right to our top story this morning. two countries rolling out the welcome mat for nsa leaker edward snowden. venezuela and nicaragua. >> snowden has been holed up in the moscow airpt to avoid espionage charges in the united states. wyatt andrews has the latest. >> good morning. after asking more than two dozen countries to receive him, edward snowden has two office for political asylum with both offers coming friday in public speeches by presidents in
5:02 am
president daniel ortega told the crowd if the circumstances permit, we will take in mr. snowden with pleasure and give him asylum. the offers give snowden a way out of transit lounge of the moscow airport where he was stranded since he fled hong kong two weeks ago. at that point the state department pulled his passport. snowden was charged with two counts of divulging secrets for his role in leaking two major surveillance programs run by the national security agency. snowden does not seem to have taken immediate advantage of these offers. so far he's not been seen on any known flight bound for central or south america. margaret, anthony? >> wyatt andrews in washington. thank you. at least 30 people are dead in egypt after tens of thousands of supporters and opponents
5:03 am
clashed over the ousting of president morsi. let's get the latest from clarissa ward in cairo. good morning clarissa. >> reporter: good morning, anthony and margaret. the streets of cairo finally a little bit calmer today. the military has really pulled back its presence on the streets and the revelers in tahrir square appear to be going home. there's still a sense of tension after clashes last night claim at least 30 lives. in alexandria and suez there were fights. here in cairo there were similar scenes as morsi supporters clashed with those celebrating his downfall. the two groups threw molotov cocktails at each other for hours before the military intervened. it began friday after prayer
5:04 am
where they marched to the military barracks where they believed morsi was being held. the protesters were stopped at this army barricade. soldiers fired tear gas at the crowd. the demonstrators pushed forward. more shots rang out and one man dropped to the ground dead. the trooped opened fire. one man showed us his injury. what is this blood? what is this from? >> from the army from the army he said. the army shot us. he urged his followers to remain calm but made it clear there would be no political reconciliation until morsi was released. our will god willing, so to reinstate president morsi, he said, and then we can reach an understanding on everything. this morning morsi supporters remained camped out on the
5:05 am
streets, that goal unchanged. egypt's new president is expected to announce a new prime minister. that prime minister will then start the process of forming an into trim government made up of technocrats. just the first process in egypt's new political era. >> clarissa washington has warned here there could be consequences if the military doesn't maintain security and stop those arrests of the muslim brotherhood members. are they doing that? are they preventing violence? >> sorry anthony. there were some problems. i think you asked the army's role on containing violence. by cracking down on the muslim brotherhood they've only exacerbated the resentment on the streets which is why the army is so keen on kick starting the employ political process so they can reduce their footprint and go back to increasing force in the country.
5:06 am
a small controversy was brewing on the whereabouts of the secretary of state, john kerry. white house photo shows the president and his national security team gathered in the situation room. kerry didn't appear to be present but his office did say he took part. he was aboard his boat in nantucket that day. a state department spokeswoman first called that report completely inaccurate but then the photos emerged followed by a new statement from the department saying while he was briefly on his boat on wednesday, secretary kerry worked around the clock all day including participating the president's meeting with his national security council. he phoned in. he was not on the boat during the phone call though. but, you know, the point, i guess, anthony here is whether that reflects the level of concern that some thing there should be. to be fair kerry was on the road for two weeks in the middle
5:07 am
east and just got back. i know because i was with him. >> you can phone in for a meeting. >> it's telecommuting. bob schieffer's guests will include republican senator john mccain of arizona and representative michael mccaul of texas and democratic congressman javier becerra of california. check your local listings. they're talking this morning about restarting a conversation. delegates are meeting inside the demilitarized zone separating the two koreas. the industrial park which closed three months ago when tensions rose between both nations. >> another day of dramatic testimony in the florida murder trial of neighborhood watch volunteer george zimmerman. jurors heard from the mothers of both zimmerman and trayvon martin. mark strassmann has the story. >> reporter:cy
5:08 am
sybrina fulton testified that the voice crying for help on the tape was her son trayvon martin. >> reporter: do you hear cries for help? yes. >> what do you hear? >> gunshots. >> you hear gunshots. >> yes. >> ma'am do you hear screaming and yelling. >> yes. >> who do you recognize that toeorge>>orr: b g eorge c was yelling. >> i heard my son scream. >> i certainly hope as a mom -- you certainly hope that your son trayvon martin would not have done anything that would have led to his own death, correct? >> what i hoped for is that this would have never have happen and he would still be here. that's my hope. >> reporter: the defense opened
5:09 am
its case by calling gladys zimmerman, the defendant's mother. she was also asked about the voice on the 911 call. >> do you know whose voice was screaming the background? >> yes, sir. >> and whose voice was that? >> my son george. >> are you certain of that? >> because he's my son. >> i think they would look at both and say it's certainly what that mom hopes happened. >> reporter: zimmerman's defense resumes on monday. he faces a possible life sentence. for "cbs this morning saturday," mark strassmann, atlanta. >> let's take a closer look at the latest developments in this murder try with cbs news legal analyst rickykki klieman. what's significant? >> what's significant is because of trayvon's mother and brother because they make their son come alive in the courtroom.
5:10 am
it's terribly emotional, really passionate and compassionate. on the other hand, mark eeo'mara being the good defense lawyer that he is does not let the jurors go away for the weekend by neutralizing the testimony by having george zimmerman's mother and his uncle. in fact, it is said during the time of the uncle's testimony it's the first time we've seen emotion from george zimmerman in court. i think mark oi mara is right. you have lots of compassion and energy and people have so much sympathy for both of these mothers that in the end theys the amount of time he was live and the other whether the amount of marijuana in his system affected his mental
5:11 am
state. what do you make of this? >> the first thing is he was not prepared by the prosecution or he was expected to come in and testify the right way meaning that he should know his stuff. the worst disaster of all of his testimony was he comes up there, which i have never seen in my years of trying cases, he comes up to the witness stand with his typewritten note that has his questions and answers that he anticipates will be asked. i've never seen it. it was extraordinary. it looks like he's there to prepare testimony, to give it the way he thinks it should be given. he was all over the place. i was a bad time for the prosecution. >> what d us that do if the case if you can't trust the medical examiner's opinion? >> you can trust the medical examiner's opinion that number one, trayvon martin died by a gunshot and that he died. this one to three minutes, one to ten minutes, whatever the
5:12 am
outcome was, first of all, it's irrelevant. this is just to know that he died. the fact this that this medical examiner is all over the map, the bad news is it was the prosecution's last witness. ultimately might it make a difference? it might not because ultimately in the end they tend to cancel each other out. what tees broader or significance here? >> wonderful question because all of us wonder from all of the years i've covered cases at courttv we wonder why some cases catch on and others don't when there's so many cases around the united states. what we're dealing with here is the question of race and that's what made this case so significant because you're an african-american child and you have a person that's white, albeit hispanic that was not charged for a considerable
5:13 am
period of time because of florida's stand your ground law, meaning if you're attacking, you fooel fear you're in great bodily harm. you can stand your ground and not retreat. that's what trended through social media all about the protest of this case. >> all right rikki, thank you for the perspective. appreciate it. one of the deadliest fires in u.s. history is about 80% this morning. the fire killed 109 firefighters near the town of yarnell last week and destroyed 13 square miles including 100 homes and billings. investigators say the shift in the direction of fire cut the firefighters off from a safety zone creating a death trap. a memorial is planned for them next week. investigators are still trying to determine why a fourth of july fireworks display went wrong. it injured 39 people.
5:14 am
>> oh oh my god. >> reporter: the morales family was front row at the simi valley show when fireworks started blowing toward them. >> we got flown back. >> we were all flown back. i kid you not. i was lying on my back. >> reporter: an annual tradition they camped out tuesday to get a closer spot and invited other families. they had 40 people total, many little children. >> she had burn marx everywhere. >> his brother daniel. >> left to right took out his eye. >> reporter: this 12-year-old spent the night the hospital. the blanket he had been sitting on still singed. the fire department ruled this an industrial accident. >> we've unloaded the moretars they'll be broken down and loaded back to the vendor. >> reporter: they have a clean record since 1984.
5:15 am
ceo dennis brady spoke to us by phone and expressed his condolences by phone and said they're examining what went down. >> from watching the video it looks like one shell designated the reaction. >> we should have been safe all along, but we'll go. we're not going to break tradition just because of this. >> reporter: and state fire code requires that in a case like this this, spectators are kept 350 feet away from the launch site. investigators say at this point it appears that that code was followed. the state fire marshal is expected to take over the investigation and arrive here on tuesday. for "cbs this morning saturday," serene branson in simi valley california. a massive 11-day search in the south pacific for a schooner with seven people onboard, six of them americans, has been called off. the 70-foot vessel left new zealand for australia in may. it was last heard from in june
5:16 am
indicating its sails were shredded during the storm. the sea and heiress skew found no trace of the schooner or its passengerer. in south africa former south after friday cab president nelson mandela remains hospitalized while the family feud continues. let's get the latest from debora patta. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. nelson mandela has been in hospital for nearly a month now. that's the longest. the fwooft says he's critical but stable. what this actually means has become a bit of national news. earlier this week there were signs of improvement his family said. his wife graca machel said her husband was sometimes uncomfortable but seldom in pain.
5:17 am
he was visited in hospital. he said afterward that his old friend struggled to talk but tried to move his muth but couldn't because there was a tube down his throat. he took critical to mean that he's not getting any worse because in his words he's a, quote, tough old man. the family tried to give an affidavit over a burial dispute and they say their father was in a vegetative state. this has been vigorously denied by the south african government. they cite doctors saying this is untrue. this is what cbs understands. we have seen a signed affidavit by mandela's daughter madikizela. he's been bad to worse and back to bad again. anthony and margaret. >> debora patta in pretoria. thank you. we return to jobs and the
5:18 am
jobs report is mixed. it shows employers add add respectable 195,000 jobs but with more people looking for work. unemployment remained at 7.6%. lauren is with us. good morning. >> good morning, guys. >> once again, this is good news, not great news. >> this is starting to become routine. same with the jobs reports and our mornings together. it's respectable and it far exceeded expectations for 165,000. some economists i spoke to were presently surprised and the stolk market was up. the bond market, not so much. close to a two-year high which matters to folks at home because of a 30-year mortgage we spoke about. they're closely related. overall in terms of the headlines, yes, unemployment was changed but people were expected that. i mean i guess that's not a lot
5:19 am
of comfort to people at home. bury it was important. it was respectability. >> what about the pace? are we going to get back to that precrisis level any time soon? >> eventually. geez we're just kind of chugging along. that's the unfortunate part of it. while job gains are respectable. economists say they're basically keeping up with population growth. so that's why the unemployment rate has remained unchanged or come down a notch here and there but is not significant in bringing down unemployment in a dramatic way. >> they used to talk about an escape velocity. what we need is 300,000, 400,000 a month to bring this number down. >> exactly. >> for six months to a year people keep saying well we're almost there and it seems to keep getting away. >> it does. i think people marrenally enmarginally
5:20 am
attached, they're looking for work and want work. that number of people is unchanged compared to a year ago and the number of people that are part-time workers for economic reasons which is fancy language for they wish they had more work, they're not part-time because they want to be that's increased. there are 8 237b9 million.2 million people. it's an unfortunate picture of our labor market. >> are you seeing that reflected in consumer spending? >> i think that's what's interesting. auto sales are back to precrisis levels. not peaks but levels. all of them are saying they're seeing inadvices. there's a question if those
5:21 am
gainsgain gains -- if the recovery is realpand sustainable. so i think we're seeing strength in consumer spending and also we saw gains in restaurants and retail jobs which speaks to strength in the consumer although they're not the best jobs if those are what our economy is adding. >> lauren lyster. thank you. >> it's just about 7:22 right now. let's take a look at the weather for your weekend. coming up they're always hungry and they're huge.

because scientists are reporting a surge in the great white shark population all along the eastern seaboard. >> that's good news for conservationists but for swimmers, not so much. at the shark attack file at the university of florida rj george burgess is one of the top experts on such encounters. good morning, george. >> good to be with you. >> first of all, why is this happening? >> well, sharks -- the white sharks in particular have received a level of protection from the government now for many years. and more importantly, the things that they love to eat, seals, have also been under protection for decades now. what we're seeing is there's a rise in both of those populations. and, of course, there's been a rise in human populations as well. >> right. i was just reading that the seal population off of the coast of massachusetts in march of 2011 was found to have tripled in like 12 years. >> yeah. a good sign for those animals, of course, which had been hunted down to nearly oblivion.
5:32 am
>> but that's like a buffet for the sharks isn't it? >> it is. as we know sharks form colonies on shore and that becomes anning a agreegation point for white sharks looking for a meal. unfortunately the beach next door is something we as humans are used to using. >> you think about shark attacks and this kind of issue is happening really in warm water. but we're talking about this happening on the east coast. is this unusual? >> well white sharks are actually a species that like cooler waters and so the new england waters on the east coast, california coastline, pacific northwest, good place for white sharks. in this particular case the species matches the distribution pattern and is the one involved. >> so obviously with more sharks, i mean people are going to wonder is there a greater likelihood that i might get attacked. >> well, actually your chances as an individual are probably
5:33 am
declining simply because the human population continues to rise and with it the concurrent utilization of near shore waters for recreational activity. so even though the shark population is slow -- i want to understand score that. there's no boom in white sharks. this is a slow recovery. the humans are in there in such big numbers. your chances now are probably less than ten years ago. >> when people hear the stories they see the fins and get a little panicked. is there a way other than not going in the water to avoid risks? >> sure sure. one of things we can avoid is staying out of the water between dusk and dawn a time period when sharks are more active. we can avoid wearing jewelry into the water. this makes the -- the light on the jewelry looks like a shiny fish. stick together in groups. those are good things to do.
5:34 am
and a number of other things. >> no excess flashing. >> no excess splashing. if you splash you look like a fish or seal in trouble. >> it looks pretty obvious but don't enter water if you have an open wound right? >> yes. sharks smell and taste very well so probably that's a no-brainer. >> george bur gessburgess, thank you is much for that advice. >> thank you. >> you're heading to the beach. >> i don't know if i'll be going in the water. i certainly won't be splark excessively. >> let's take a look at the beach weather for your weekend. . and up next, the health threat of taking too many

doctors have been warning for years americans take too many antibiotics. take a look at these numbers. 250 million written every year 833 for every thousand of americans may be unnecessary and even dangerous. new research shows that overuse of antibiotics may actually be damaging to your body. here with more cbs news medical contributor dr. holly phillips. good morning. >> good morning. >> what did we learn in the study?
5:39 am
>> we know what happens with antibiotics. we took human cells and put them in a petri dish. researchers put in three different antibiotics. after three hours they found oxidative stress. that's damage to the cells, proteins, and lipids. so we're starting to understand a little more the antibiotics ourselves can damage our cells' antibiotics, and so it's likely that other antibiotics within those classes could cause a similar problem. >> so i mean i guess the question here the startling number that margaret read is maybe as many as much as 50% of antibiotics should not be prescribed. i mean in some cases i know like z packs are given out like
5:40 am
candy. so when do you know not to take these things. >> well anthony, you bring up a good point. when patients come in to me and they have a common cold i've had patients say i need a z pack and they start to feel better when you write a prescription. really the focus should be on bacterial illnesses only. they are important in cases of strep throat bacterial pneumonias bacterial bronchitises bacterial ear infections. that's when they're really needed and should be used and those are the only times they should be used. with viruses, it's not important and it won't help. >> is the in way to repair the damage you're describing? >> that was very interesting. once they'd seen the damage if they added nutrients, the damage actually reversed itself which really emphasizes to us we know

good reasonable guideline is to say your child is going do three different activities perhaps one that's creative one that's physical, and one that's community-oriented. pick one that your child is interested in not one that impresses your facebook friends. there are some kids who are really happy doing something four days a week and some kids need more time out at home and hang out with their friends and you need to follow your child's lead. >> does it matter at what age? >> yes and no. there are certain things that are better if you start them early. lang is language is one of those things. our brain is more elastic in those moments. for other things you can do something later. you'll be more fluid, especially with a language if you start earlier. the brain continues to develop after your teens. you can always learn something new.

>> it's like we all missed our stop. it's about a girl who grew up on long island who had parents where it turns out her father was a hoarder. the thing that's wonderful about the book is as much as she describes this really horrific childhood in a lot of ways she loved her parents and they loved her. >> and what is this book "silent wife." this is one of your top three here. >> "silent wife," we're very high on it. you remember "gone girl." it's very similar to that. it's about a very twisted mess up marriage. if you're buying a wedding gift don't buy this. but it's about a marriage gone wrong and the way the partners sort of try to one up each
5:55 am
other. >> another one is -- your firth pick is called "shining girls" a psychological thriller but futuristic. >> it's about a psychological killer. it's one of our popular books of the summer. what is "the impossible life of greta wells?" >> it's about -- something about time travel is universally interesting. it's about a woman who goes back. she starts in 1985 new york and she goes back to 1918 and 1943 and sees herself and all the people in her life in different contexts and different relationships with her so it's sort of three life stories but it's all about the same person. >> and finally one for the guys "i wear my black hat" by chuck klosterman. >> chuck klosterman as you know, is a great cultural critic and he talks about why we look
5:56 am
the good guy-- bad guys more than good guys. >> how did you pick all these books? you must get tons of books arriving on your desk. >> i get a lot of book chls i have a team of seven people and we have other readers that work with us and we read a lot of books. >> you say you read two books a week? >> i would say each of us read two books a week. that's real reading and there's read at. the read by i call it where we read a lot of things and try to narrow it down. it's personal choice and a lot of screaming and yelling at each other. >> these are your top picks but is this the same thing as picking a bestseller? >> no not necessarily. sometimes we pick books that i -- i like to think we pick books that other people agree with us about, but best-sellers that's sort of the people's choice and we're the curators. >> thank you much. sara nelson.
5:57 am
up next britain's on watch for a royal birthday. stay tuned. . that would be you. they call you the whippingest man in barbecue. you say it's not special occasion food. it's everyday food doesn't take all day to cook and it sure doesn't have to be complicated. do ryu really believe anybody can do this? >> anybody can do this. >> why? >> i think people get intimidated. let's say the average grill is 12 inches by 24 inches. they get intimidated because there are fire and flames beeath it. you get intimidated because you may burn things up. you may have 30 bucks of meat you're cooking on the grill. so what. 30 bucks. trash it. start over. go by the recipe close and make it happen. you're not going to end the
5:58 am
world by burning up the grill. >> but let's try to avoid the lost 30 bucks and burning up the meat. first step what do you need to do to get your grill ready? >> if you buy brand-new grill or clean it you need to season it again. take some of your spray -- >> canola oil spray. >> right. oil on a rag. oil down the racks. >> do menare men better barbecuers or do they think they are? >> i think they are. i mean you've got a lot of great female cooks out there, especially in the barbecue world coming along. but men still think they own the backyard. they're the kings of the cul-de-sac. >> what happened to them at the girl myron? >> you put a man and fire together -- >> testosterone. >> that's right. they are king. i may not burn it once here. i may burn the house down too. through sunday at sleep train's 4th

welcome to "cbs this morning saturday." i'm anthony mason that and i'm margaret brennan. coming up this half hour, road rage or bad driving? coming up more and more. dash cameras. what you need to know about them. >> serving up super strong liquor. why alcohol and booze is a growing trend. and she had a face you couldn't forget. gladys, the abandoned baby gorilla. we'll have the update from the
6:01 am
cincinnati zoo. >> edward snow done may have finally found a new home. >> two of them in fact. let's get the latest on this from wyatt andrews who's in our washington bureau. good morning, wyatt. >> margaret anthony, good morning. after two weeks of being stranded in the transit lounge of the moscow airport edward snowden has two offers from the presidents e in mr. snowden with pleasure and give him asylum. snowden is wanted in the united states for disclosure of two surveillance programs run by the national security agency which
6:02 am
was run gning. snowden fled from hong kong to the moscow airport after those charges were filed and has spent almost two weeks asking for asylum and being rejected by more than 20 countries. the russians this week stepped up the pressure for snowden to leave. despite those two aurs snowden has apparently not taken the first flight outbound for south america. u.s. officials have made it clear they're tracking snowden and will arrest him if given the chance. margaret anthony? >> wyatt andrews, thanks very much. in nigeria a teacher and 29 students are dead after islamic extremists opened fire at their boarding school. the attack happened in a remote area in the country's northeast. survivors say some students were burned alive in the predawn attack. extremists have burned dozens of schools and killed more than 1 rkds 600 civilians since 120u. >> it's terrible story. and in egypt, it's still tense. one day after deadly political
6:03 am
violence when supporters and opponents of ousted president mohamed morsi ousted. clarissa ward is in cairo with the latest. >> good morning. well, the streets of cairo are largely calm the military has pulled back its military presence on the streets. the revelers in tahrir square behind me appear to be finally going home. there is still an air of tension here. there were clashing ongoing that claimed at least 30 lives. now in some of the worst, the clashes right just behind me over there, pro-morsi demonstrators were trying to cross the bridge to get into tahrir square where these people were still celebrating the downfall of former president morsi. the two sides crashed on the bridge. they were throwing molotov cocktails at each other and rocks at each other. after a few hours the army did
6:04 am
intervene and the situation was diffused but there's certainly a sense of ager and resentment on the streets from supporters of mohamed morsi. they feel very strongly that their president is being illegally detained even though their leaders have given speeches to the followerers er followers saying please be peaceful. they're not willing to let the situation go. for "cbs this morning," clarissa ward cairo. >> whatever the outcome, american students evacuated from there say the reputation of the united states is suffering. >> i came back on june 29th right before the big protest. in fact, i did not expect it to be, you know as mazz ichbssive as it was. there's so much support behind the protest movement. all of my friends do feel safe right now in egypt. they're quite surprised and some
6:05 am
are mad they're being evacuated. egyptians are pretty angry with the u.s. government. it's quite uniform across the board that all classes and groups of egyptians, again, more circumstance or protesters against them are very upset with the united states. that's one poing i think, you know americans and egyptians should legitimately be concerned about because public opinion of egyptians is really swayed. >> and anthony, i think a lot of americans would be surprised when they hear -- as i've heard on the streets -- they believe americans helped put morsi in power and that's been the sentiment of the u.s. ambassador there. so while the u.s. has got this relationship with the military the perception is we have one
6:06 am
with mohamed morsi, rightly or wrongly. >> a lot of suspicion. prince harry is now in an apachy attack helicopter. harry is third in line to the british throne. the his military service included a 20-week program in afghanistan. since then he has flown missions in britain. speaking of the royals there's about to be a brand-new one any day now. kate duchess of cambridge is due. let's get the latest from rob jobson from the london england standard. i guess good afternoon do you there. the wedding was a media frenzy. what is the birth of the first baby going to be like by comparison. >> there's going to be a huge area.
6:07 am
they're gathered outside the window at the same hospital where prince william was born. they're waiting outside for that moment. >> robert, are you telling me that the press is already gathered? they're not even at the hospital yet and they've already staked out the street? >> there's still barriers along the road. there's a policeman standing there. they've got a lot of interns waiting there because they don't want to be there overnight but the reality is all the photographers have their ladders there. it looks like a decorator's convection. >> that's going to be quite a pricey photo for the first photographer who snaps one. the baby no matter the gender, is going to bo the heir apparent. how is the reception going to be? >> the long word that sums up
6:08 am
it's the end of sexism in the royal family. this little child whether it's a boy or girl will be the next king or queen after prince william. if there was a little brother later, that brother would be king. not anymore. >> what happens as he sheds to the hospital. how do we find out? is there a royal procedure? >> owe'll love ityou'll love it. they put it on a piece of paper, take it downstairs put it on karks distribute it across london and put it on ees easel and put it on the streets of london. of course, they'll put it out on the wires and twitter later but they stick to traditions.
6:09 am
>> it sounds terribly civilized. >> except for all the ladders outside the hospital. >> exactly. does the baby have a twitter account yet? >> not yet. the royals are big on twitter so i'm sure they'll be putting it out to sort of get the interest going. no it's really something. years ago that goes back to when the babies used to be worn in the palace and this's why we put it on an easel. now they're born in a hospital to be on the safe side. >> that's a very sweet tradition. >> i know you're waiting with bated breath anthony. thank you. we'll be talking with you very soon. >> thank you. employers added 195,000 jobs with unemployment remaining at 7.6% last month. of course, if you're a high school dropout, your chances of landing a job are much slimmer. but an enonlightened employer can give even the most down and out
6:10 am
a chance. >> clay patterson dropped out of school at 15. >> i had so much stress with my parents and stuff i kind of gave up, i guess, at the end. >> reporter: patterson found hope and a job at this south wire plant. 166 of the workers here are high school students at risk for dropping out. >> a kid needs to feel that. >> mike wigans is a south wire vice president. >> our app employ can't pool was shrinking. >> rather than complaining you decide dodd that. >> they decided to spend $2.5 million building this factory where students worked for a minimum of 20 hour as week at $8 an hour but they have to stay in school.
6:11 am
the program is called 12 for life. since 2007 it has helped 428 students to graduate. about half the kids who start the program finish the program. >> that's about right. >> do you see that half success rate or half failure rate. >> keep in mind we start with 100% failures so every kid that gets a high school education has been an incredible success. >> and many of the kids before this program didn't have a shot. >> they had almost less than half a chance. >> reporter: in the past two years patterson has had a chance to buy a car and get an apartment. she will graduate in march. >> there's nothing like walking across the stage and getting your diploma. >> reporter: your face lights
6:12 am
up. >> i know. i'm so excited. i can't wait. >> reporter: she'll be the first in her family to earn a high schooldy employee madieu it's 12 minutes after the hour. let's take a look at the weather for your weekend. up next bad drivers beware. dashboard cameras aren't just for the cops anymore. you're watching "cbs this morning saturday." >> announcer: this portion sponsored by lifestyle lift. find out how you can light up your life. cept when it's too cold. like the last three weekends. asthma doesn't affect my job... you missed the meeting again last week! it doesn't affect my family. your coughing woke me up again. i wish you'd take me to the park.

6:16 am
cameras seem to be everywhere these days and now they're showing up on the dashboards of cars not just emergency vehicles but those of ordinary motorists. why? take look at this. this incident of road rage on a california freeway in late june involves a driver repeatedly cutting off another vehicle, throwing a can at the car, even charging by foot. >> he pulls up alongside me sees me and cuts me off. from that point i was the target of his craziness. >> charles ho had been driving his fooer's prius. he posted the video online. thousands exist on youtube channels like "bad drivers in southern california." the anonymous bad driver ss run a
6:17 am
red light nearly hitting pedestrians and cutting off another driver. it was a dash cam in russia track took meteor across the sky in february. motorists have been earlier adopters of the cameras for protection. they use it to fend off charges from possibly corrupt police officers and from insurance scammers who often stage accidents like this one captured here. insurance companies in the u.s. do not yet provide incentives for drivers who use dash cams as they do in europe but with all the videos appearing online, that could soon change. so just how popular are these cameras and is it legal for anyone to put one on their dash? good morning to both of you. rikki, again. bill, you started your company
6:18 am
just in september. >> right. >> you were a truck driver before you before. you see a market for these. >> yes absolutely. when you're driving, you have lots of different people watching you. you want to protect your record at least as a professional driver. it's a perfect equalizer. they're total recall is what they are. >> how much does something like that cost? >> this camera right here is about $140 online. there's a different range of cameras. different functions for cameras. basically you can get a good camera for about 100, $150. >> rikki, what are the legal aspects of this. are these images admissible in court? >> they might be. it is legal and you can put them on your dashboard. you can put them on your windshield which is where most drivers would put them. there are certain restrictions 5 ichlk square on the driver's
6:19 am
side, 7-inch square on the passenger seed. that's so you don't become a problem. the only problem is electronic eavesdropping. there are some states that say if you record someone without their consent then you may have a problem so you'd better no your state law. >> that's very interesting. >> does it make a difference for you personally with your insurance company? >> i think it would be a great for you to have insurance companies that took this on. bill and i were talking outside about a teen driver program that allows certain places where if your teenaged driver is driving you can actually watch what he or she is doing and that that puts -- that reverses your camera, right? and if that happens that there may be insurance companies that will give you a benefit. >> bill, you had a client report back to you recently how a dash cam saved them from getting arrested. what happened? >> right. it was a professional truck
6:20 am
driver. he had just purchased a camera a couple of weeks prior to that. he was in california and accused of road rage some of when he pulled into a the d.o.t. scale he was surrounded by chp. they were going to arrest him until they saw the dash cam video. they saw select cell video. when they saw is whole footage, they arrested the assailant in the car. >> they want it primarily for what? >> to protect their driving record. >> and do you see a difference with the drivers themselves? do they drive more safely knowing there's a camera rolling? >> yes, they do. i know i did. you don't haven't to get into that whole rage mentality. let people do what they're going to do. you've got a capture. >> if your behavior is going to be captured maybe people won't do it. up next it will bring a catch to your throat and a tear to your eye.

[ female announcer ] it's simple physics... a body at rest tends to stay at rest... while a body in motion tends to stay in motion. staying active can actually ease arthritis symptoms. but if you have arthritis, staying active can be difficult. prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain so your body can stay in motion. because just one 200mg celebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain and inflammation. plus, in clinical studies celebrex is proven to improve daily physical function so moving is easier. celebrex can be taken with or without food. and it's not a narcotic. you and your doctor should balance the benefits with the risks. all prescription nsaids like celebrex, ibuprofen naproxen and meloxicam have the same cardiovascular warning. they all may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. this chance increases if you have heart disease or risk factors such as high blood pressure or when nsaids are taken for long periods. nsaids, like celebrex increase
6:23 am
the chance of serious skin or allergic reactions or stomach and intestine problems such as bleeding and ulcers which can occur without warning and may cause death. patients also taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers. don't take celebrex if you have bleeding in the stomach or intestine, or had an asthma attack, hives, other allergies to aspirin, nsaids or sulfonamides. get help right away if you have swelling of the face or throat or trouble breathing. tell your doctor your medical history. and find an arthritis treatment for you. visit celebrex.com and ask your doctor about celebrex. for a body in motion.
6:24 am
you may have noticed that hard liquors are getting harder. 100 or even 116 proof fire water as compared with the traditional 80 to 86 proof. let's learn more from tony. he's known as the modern mixologist. good morning do you, bright and early out there on the west coast. tony, higher proof, does this make a difference when you're drinking it? does it burn going down? >> good morning, margaret. it absolutely makes a difference. i would not say it burns going down. i've han 80 proof spirits, poorly distilled spirits burn more than the aft lyly proof ones
6:25 am
fire water as you described. >> why does this happen? >> this didn't happen by accident. this is where the master distill distiller thinks their whiskey shows the besting captures the essence of that distiller. i once knew a whiskey maker who said we make it the way we like to drink it and if the guests if our consumer wants to bring it down. they can add it. >> this isn't another circuit for the frat party. >> that coming oup ableof age with college, that's not what we're talking about here. >> that sounds awful. >> everclear. >> is there a higher cost for higher proof? >> when brands bring the proofs down, the whiskeys down or rums
6:26 am
down they do it by adding water so you get a more concentrated spir. you get -- like i said for a 100-proof bottle than an 80-proof. let's look at cocktails. if i start with an 80 proof spirit and i mix with ice that dilutes and add water it's going to bring that proof down. if i want to maintain the integrity, we start with higher proof. again, it place a bigger role. now we start to wash out the flavor of the spirit. >> all right. tony. interesting as we head into the weekend. i didn't realize this was such a trend. >> i'm doing this under protest because we didn't have samples. >> next time. coming up baby gladys finds the gorilla of her dreams. a new mom. you're watching "cbs this morning saturday."
6:27 am
what we try to do is give people multiple opportunities to find compatible people and once you find somebody who's compatible, somebody on the 28 demention who's really right for you, then you look for chemistry. >> can you give me a couple of examples, two of the questions you would ask somebody. >> you want to know what a person's intelligence level is. you're not going to be happy with somebody who's intelligence is way above yours or way below yours. >> i find i don't like that term do you? somebody who's intelligent way below yours? >> they could be lying, o'neillh'neillo'neill. they could be saying i'm smarter than the average bear i think it's the younger people
6:28 am
doing a lot of online dating. in my experience i know of a lot of older people who do online dating. >> we've had 88,000 people over 80 doing e eharmony. my own dad after being married to my mom for 70 years got lonely and he called me to tell me he's getting married again. >> i think that's a great. >> i do too. >> you have been married for 54 years. what do you think makes marriage work? >> i think it's adaptability. >> you're right. you know you're just not going to be the same on a whole bunch of things. marilyn was born in boston. i was born in iowa. i was the only kid in my class. marilyn was from a big school moved all over the east coast. i think she's the most adaptable

massive blooms of algae have been washing up on the beaches in china. the phenomenon is huge nearly the size of the state of connecticut but it hasn't stopped determined swimmers from going in the water. >> wow. well officials have already removed 20 tons of algae from the beaches. it's the largest bloom since 2008. that one covered 5,000 square miles. >> would you go swimming in that? >> it doesn't make me want to go in the water i've got to be honest. >> i wonder if there's great white sharks over there. >> i don't know about that. >> welcome to "cbs this morning saturday." i'm anthony mason. >> and i'm margaret brennan. >> we reported in march about gladys who was moved to the
6:31 am
cincinnati zoo from texas after her birth mother abandoned her. terrell brown is here with an update that will make you smile. good morning, terrell. >> anthony and margaret good morning to you both. we took a trip back. i had ta chance to meet the newest arrival at the time. here was the challenge. take an abandoned baby gorilla, raise her until show's ready to be placed with a new family a new gorilla family and hope that she's accepted. we check back in this week and here's what we found. for the youngest gorilla at the cincinnati zoo, this holiday weekend has been a coming out party. >> baby gladys is doing great. she's now living with gorillas not with people anymore. >> 5-month-old gladys got her first glimpse of the outdoors playing with a 31-year-old veteran mother who's adopted gladys as her own. it was really neat to see her settle in each day doing more. early on ma len city would try
6:32 am
to hold ear and maybe gladys would get mad, bite her bite her on her finger. clearly the sign that they're sleeping together is a great example. up in of this was guaranteed when we first visited the zoo back in march. zoo coopers were hand razing gladys, getting her ready for life with gorillas. >> we're gorillifying her? >> what? >> gore ril a fieillaifying her. >> reporter: gladys was born in texas but soon after officials immediately saw signs of trouble. what was the trouble? >> gladys's mother wasn't taking care of her so the zoo had to hand raise her. she just left the baby on the floor. >> reporter: gladys was flown to cincinnati. she said how excited she was to see her grow as a gorilla.
6:33 am
>> it's going to be amazing. we want her in with the ambassador rilgorillas as soon as possible. that's what's best for her. >> reporter: the zoo director said watching this happen has been bittersweet particularly for the keepers who spent 24/7 for months with gladys. it's hard it's tear-jerking to have to let go of her for good and say you have to go be with your own now. >> reporter: with that process fully under way, gladys has also been introduced to other fee mals like her adopted sister. over the next few months she should be introduced to the rest of her gorilla family. they take a long time to grow up. six to seven years to mature. she has a lot to learn from ma len city and well as what it's like to live in a groom. they're amazing manls. that u have a complex relationship and all of that is
6:34 am
building. did i mention the cincinnati zoo has never done this before? this with as first and one zookeeper saying watching gladys wond with her new mom has been an amazing experience. >> what a coot gorilla. >> really adorable. you got to go see her too i think when i first saw her and held her, i leemt everybody else, how do i get one. how do i get a baby gorilla. you realize once you hang out for a bit, you stare into the eyes of what's going to be large animal at some point. they were teaching me the process of gorillafication. there's playtime chill time and all of that is getting her ready to be reunited with teach her
6:35 am
how to grab a bottle. there were little things she had to learn. just hanging on just riding around on the gorillas. >> terrell, adorable shoot. thank you very much for that story. >> sure. >> now a final look at your weather for the weekend. up next from tv to the movies. >> go on. kill me. i have it coming to me. i tried to kill you. >> we try to save lives, terry, not kill them. we must find a way to get out. >> that's the way they played the lone ranger and tanto back

6:40 am
morning" sunday. did you hate "the loan ranger" more than anybody else? >> yes. more. i hate the ambition. it tries to do a lot of things you don't normally see in this blockbuster but when you have saidism and slabstick side by side it really was like watching the adaptation of "buried at heart, the wounded knee" adopted into a disney theme park ride some of something is a little off there when you've got scalpings and side by side with that. i respect the ambition. i think, misfire. >> okay. so this one obviously you don't think worked. >> no. >> duh bu does the formula of a tv show turned into a movie bridge successk success?
6:41 am
>> it depends. you've got place a kernel. you've got to understand what was so appealing about the original. >> let's talking some of the failures. >> it was an embarrassment of craft. it was so hard to pick three. >> the first is bewhich"bewitched." why? >> instead of doing a remake of "bewitched," she did a meesh about an actress who turned out to be a witch cast in "bewitched." there were so many levels that you lost track of the simple basic idea of a mp who's totally confused by the powers of his wife. >> you had another wild west movie. >> "wild wild west" is terrible
6:42 am
because again, overblown. that's the theme there. also no chemistry between will smith and kevin klein. you could not imagine why this movie was made. your least favorite "the avenger avengers." they actually butchered the film. >> they did. it was such a passionate film in the '60s. elegant, kinky. fun. you have a great actor, very tense actor playing john steve. you had uma thurman plays the part. again, you lose the basic kernel that kept them coming back. >> i was wondering what this shot was. sean connery and tell tubbies.
6:43 am
tell us what may have gotten that formula right, tv to movie? >> well, what are we starting with? i think we're starting with "the untouchables" which is brian depalma and david. they created a truly epic vision of corruption that started at the top and filtered down. made great gangster film that was a great more reality placement david mem it wrote some of the best lines. we've all repeat them. they've become part of the lexicon. the chicago way. people still quote it. you had a great performance by sean connery that totally made up for his performance in the avenger avengers. also a lot of the untouchables got killed. it was not -- you know they differentiated insofar as they weren't coming back. >> you also liked "star trek
6:44 am
